An Uber Eats driver is being sought in Atlanta, Georgia for allegedly shooting a customer after a dispute and fleeing the scene:

An UberEATS driver was on the run Monday after a man who ordered a meal from the online food delivery service was killed in a late night shooting in Atlanta over the weekend, police told local media.

The 30-year-old man was shot multiple times after exchanging words with the driver in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, police told Atlanta's NBC affiliate WXIA, channel 11.

Also at WSB-TV, 11Alive, and AJC.

Update: Driver accused of shooting customer had been with Uber Eats for 1 week

    Later TFAs said words were exchanged as the resident walked away toward his lobby, and the security cam backs that up.

    Oddly, the victim is pictured prominently in front of a Hands UP Atlanta poster.

    I'm going to go for "after the customer scolded him for being late, delivery guy said something stupid to show he was 'the man', then when other guy came back to say 'what the F did you say' so he shot him".

    Is anyone particularly surprised, in a society where being the alpha/winner is treated as the most important thing?
